Healthcare Casualties. The Underinsured Mentally Ill

Description

At St. Bernard's Hospital, in Chicago's blighted Englewood neighborhood, the ER staff refuses to back away from the challenge of serving patients with serious mental illnesses and little or no insurance-a population precariously poised to slip between the cracks of a healthcare system that is not set up to catch them. Who are the dedicated professionals stretching their limited resources to help some of those least able to help themselves, and how are they doing it? This ABC News program goes to St. Bernard's to find out.
